Dear John (heh heh) is this extended discussion referring to the output from the dac prior to the analog stage that provides the signal to the other system components or after? Not being snarky, my knowledge of digital signal production and processing is rather limited. Thanks.
As an aside, I agree with Abe C that the analog output stage of the dac probably influences the sound of the component more than anything else. Hence my first question-I really don't know enough to evaluate the output signal of a dac prior to analog conversion nor what effect differences at that stage of signal processing might have on final sound quality.
